The things you find in the garden of a quilter...

I was outside this morning admiring all the spring flowers, looking at all the lovely, sweet green buds on the trees. Thinking that the little flowers in the pots on the verandah looked really pretty. Then I saw this.....

....a lovely little white jonquil, pretty litte pansy's, some sweet alice and a miniature Camellia in a big clay pot. But what's that holding the Camellia to it's little stake.....???

I had to laugh, he obviously couldn't find any ties for the plant so grabbed a tiny scrap of fabric out of the rubbish bin in my sewing room....How sweet does it look..??

Clever man - fabric does have a little give in it, so the poor plant wont be strangled - my Dad did this and so have I. I've been wondering how things are for you Lizzie - do you still need more blocks for your special quilt?Hugs - Lurline♥

My DH does that with my ribbons sometimes and makes tiny bows......i only try to tell him that he please looks for a color that matches the flowers of the plants..he is getting there...lol...or i secretly change them...your DH dit a good job!!...greetings...Francien.P.s. the blocks are going tuesday on their way in the afternoon..found some but the postoffice is closed here untill then...

I have also done this . My daghter has a rose bush near her front door and it need to be tied and all I had with me was my sewing bag so I dug through it until I found a long scrap , it is still there and makes me smile to this day!
